[quote from="Sykomyke"]But why is it fair for "aggro" decks to ALWAYS be strong in metas, but the one time a no-minion control mage deck gets popular everyone cries for nerfs? [/quote]

Just to address this one point, if there is a reason why aggro decks are currently doing well is ironically because of lunacy mage, which stomps on every …

The changes are probably hitting stealth rogue since its basically the old version from scholomance and team5 already said many times they prefer things to move on.

I doubt the watchposts would be hit at all. All three play specific functions. Its no coincidence that we're seeing more [card]far watch post[/card] now since mage can't really destroy this thing …

I mean cards that can or may counter paladin decks aren't very good against lunacy mage, hence why they're rarely seen.

I think the real issue here is unfortunately [card]cannonmaster smythe[/card] is currently bad. If you're not going the libram route, its better to go for early game and burst late game with weapons like [card]hammer of the naaru[/card]. Your early game tempo and secrets should be enough to handle mage so your late game just steamroll past their mana cheating …

So we're basically skipping guldan and thrall now?

Quote From YourPrivateNightmare

The funniest part is that people are so preoccupied with trying to abuse Mage that they don't realise that Paladin is even stronger because it literally doesn't have a counter.

I really hope we get a hotfix this week or else I'll just complete my dailies in Tavern Brawl and not touch the game …

Quote From Vandaren

I'm sorry, but i haven't play standard in a while. What's so good about lunacy mage? Isn't that a deck with random spells? Please enlighten me.

0 mana draw 2 in the form of [card]refreshing spring water[/card]. With cards like [card]incanter's flow[/card], there's a good chance this card even gives you mana …

If you're playing libram pally with kazakus, it'll brick if your libram discounts get any of the librams to 4 mana in your deck.

So for example if you play 1x [card]aldor attendant[/card], which causes your [card]libram of justice[/card] to go to 4 mana, which will brick your kazakus until you play another libram discount card or draw them.

Its an 8 mana card. That alone condemns this to only exist in druid or a very late game deck, which usually aren't very good. Right now the only decks that I have met using this card is either druid or hunter, because there's also not many high cost spells around that justifies playing an 8 mana card that needs …

4 years, 11 months ago · on Primordial Protector: broken?

I can't say I can ever advocate anyone to avoid their problems. Especially given that in hearthstone, trying to avoid specific classes is fairly futile as its largely dependent on the meta.

Right now the only deck I really can't stand is lunacy mage, but I'm not going to concede the minute I see a turn 2 [card]deck of …

Its likely going to suffer a cost increase since no matter how you nerf the effect all it does is just move the initial card choices a little to get the desired card from [card]deck of lunacy[/card] rng.

My prediction is that [card]deck of lunacy[/card] goes from 2 to 4, making it more susceptible to both burn and other …

The worst part of it all is that by playing cards that's good against lunacy mage (yeah let's go with that name) like playing more burn you'd inevitably just die to paladin, since that deck doesn't care about burn. This is coming very close to the evolve shaman days where its weapon tech or bust, but at very least shaman …

I used to just ignore this card even though its fairly obvious how broken it is when played early along with cards like [card]incanter's flow[/card]. After all, rng can swing both ways.

And then team5 went on to not only remove some of the worst cards in hearthstone from the list, they also provided this archetype with a 0 …

[quote from="Blizzard"]You’ll now be able to see your watch time progress towards any given drop[/quote]

Literally the most important change to be made here. Sometimes I tend to feel like the timer isn't moving at all because I accidentally minimized the window.

Shaman's identity according to blizz;

  • Strengths: Minion swarms, damage spells, Totems, Elementals, Murlocs
  • Weaknesses: Card draw, card generation

I guess its only a coincidence that whenever they get some really powerful swing card like evolve shenanigans it becomes cancerous extremely quickly. This, along with hunter's bs identity, is the reason why both shaman …

Yet another bug, what will they think of next?

Basically you mulligan away all your dyes and laugh whenever your opponent start using theirs. Soon your opponent will catch on to it as he looks in confusion how you never used any dyes at all, then proceeds to concede because he just threw all his dye on a bs …

There's a hidden threshold of health and turns that need to be fulfilled before a concede counts as 'played' in quest progression. I think the numbers are at least 15 health, or 10 turns.

Its not really a bug. This was the conditions set before the reward track came in darkmoon, where 'played' counts the second you enter a …

It sucks being a part of activision-blizz because apparently the company can be making stellar profits and yet there is still mentions of 'downsizing' while the CEO earns a mere few million in bonuses.

Im absolutely certain the team is doing all they can with what they have, but it begs the question why aren't there more QA testers …

There's another weirder bug with [card]deathstalker rexxar[/card]. Apparently when you craft a zombeast, all you get is the first choice you pick, so effectively the hp is now just to discover a beast.

Man, hearthstone is now buggier than the insides of a termite colony.

Looks like lady luck just rang by as I opened my packs.

Got 10 legendaries in like 85 packs. Don't know how it happened, but this is the best opening day I ever had.

Practically missed all the targets on my wish list, but hey, can't complain with results like this.
